My wife and I were in Holland to walk the 4 Days Marches in Nijmegan and needed a hotel close to the airport for our trip home. We selected this hotel with its good reviews and it also gave us an opportunity to visit Haarlem. The staff was very proficient and our room was very nice and clean in every respect. It was about a 10 minute walk to the train station and right near the church and square. Shopping streets and the canal were a 5 minute walk away. We found breakfast to be very good with ample selections. All in all, we would return with no concerns at all.

We had a very comfortable, enjoyable time at the Van der Valk hotel in the beautiful city of Haarlem. We had a rental car but we used the transit system to get to Amsterdam. The transit system is awesome. The people are friendly and the area was great. Just watch out for the bicycle riders... don't walk on the bike paths. The restaurant at this hotel was very good. The plates they served were a bit too classy for me but it did taste excellent. The breakfast buffet was also very good. It had just about everything. Other than the 9 inch door ding someone left in our rental car door while it was parked in the Van der Valk parking lot, our stay was almost perfect.

Malts B&B was refurbished about 2 years ago. It looks like it was done yesterday. The facilities are immaculate and very up to date. The room could not have been cleaner.
The owners, Henk (Hank) and AnneMarie met us at the door. Henk sat down with us and explained the town of Harlaam. Where to go, where to eat and what to do. He spoke fluent english and was able to answer every question we had.
Breakfast consisted of homemade yogurt bowls and fruit. Wonderful coffee, tea and fresh squeezed orange juice. Great croissants, rolls, bread, fruit and cold cuts with cheese.
The breakfast room overlooks the street and is open all day.
The hotel is accessed from Schiphol Airport by one bus, no transfers. The bus stops at the airport and the stop for the Malts B&B is two blocks from the hotel.
I canceled another hotel reservation so that we could return to the Malts for our last night in Holland.
I would recommend this B&B and the town of Harlaam to anyone considering going to the Netherlands. It is a very short bus ride to Amsterdam and all other surrounding sights.

This is more like a condo, the location is excellent. It is very clean with large kitchen and nice bathroom the beds are confortable. The only odd thing was the oon a Arial it is confusing to find the door. The staff are friendly when you find them.

I stayed in one of the larger dorms during August. Unlike many hostels I've stayed in the other visitors were generally older then me. There were several families with small children and people on cycling holidays. The general atmosphere of the hostel is very relaxed. The food in the complimentary breakfast was excellent compared to food I've had at other hostels.
The location is attractive, on top of a river. The hostel is a 15-20 minute walk away from Santpoort-Zuid railway station, and from there it's 20 minute train ride to Amsterdam Central. It is a long walk into the centre of Haarlem, but it is possible to rent bicycles from the hostel and (unsurprisingly for Holland) the area is extremely bike-friendly . I rented a bike and cycled to the coastal resort of Zandvoort, through the nature reserve which lies between Haarlem and the sea.
Overall my experience was very positive. I found it to be a good balance between visiting Amsterdam and the surrounding area. I would not recommend it for people solely interested in visiting Amsterdam however.
Bring a towel as these are not included (though they can be purchased from the hostel)
